Congress have power to establish an uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies, throughout the United States.

Article 2, section 1, clause 8 is the Presidential oath giving him full authority to enforce the laws of the Constitution of the United States and the laws of Congress. This includes: the US Military, Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and ICE:

Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.

It is the president, not a governor or an state bureaucrat, who decides who or in what manner the enforcement the laws of the United States shall be conducted. The States gave up their right to have any input on the subject upon the ratification of the 17th Amendment.

Most important in this debate is Article VI, Clause 2, the Supremacy Clause, says in laymen’s terms Federal laws will always trump State and Local laws:

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

So why must time be wasted time in the courts? Jurisdiction was already decided by the US Supreme Court in 1819 with McCulloch v. Maryland:

The Government of the Union, though limited in its powers, is supreme within its sphere of action, and its laws, when made in pursuance of the Constitution, form the supreme law of the land.

There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States similar to the Articles of Confederation, which exclude incidental or implied powers.

If the end be legitimate, and within the scope of the Constitution, all the means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, and which are not prohibited, may constitutionally be employed to carry it into effect.

If a certain means to carry into effect of any of the powers expressly given by the Constitution to the Government of the Union be an appropriate measure, not prohibited by the Constitution, the degree of its necessity is a question of legislative discretion, not of judicial cognizance.

The State within which such branch may be established cannot, without violating the Constitution, tax that branch.

The States have no power, by taxation or otherwise, to retard, impede, burthen, or in any manner control the operations of the constitutional laws enacted by Congress to carry into effect the powers vested in the national Government.

Other rights, even the most basic, are illusory if the right to vote is undermined. Our Constitution leaves no room for classification of people in a way that unnecessarily abridgesthis right. In urging the people to adopt the Constitution, Madison said in No. 57 of The Federalist:

“Who are to be the electors of the Federal Representatives? Not the rich more than the poor; not the learned more than the ignorant; not the haughty heirs of distinguished names more than the humble sons of obscure and unpropitious fortune. The electors are to be the great body of the people of the United States.”

4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Both Constitutional and legal precedence were clearly established long ago, thus supersede the 4th Amendment, in additional to the established constitutional and judicial precedence voids any 10th Amendment argument. The problem is, these are no longer taught in schools, such topics are no longer debated or discussed because of political correctness, and societal attention spans have dwarfed to 140 characters.

A unilateral executive action on the part of the Obama Administration, DACA was an Executive Order, not legislation passed by Congress. The Constitution is clear on how the laws of this country are to be made and how they will be enforced, and it’s not done by the authority of the states.

But Then There Are Lawyers.

The government had challenged the states’ standing to raise its objections to its changes to lawful status in the form of expanded DACA and DAPA. But the Court rejected that argument because the change of lawful status triggers the granting of state benefits, specifically since Texas law does not issue state-subsidized driver’s licenses to aliens without lawful presence. Enlarging the category of aliens with lawful presence thus imposes a cost on Texas, giving the state a stake in the outcome of the litigation, which is all that is necessary to show standing.

On the merits, the Court’s analysis is workmanlike and tightly-reasoned. Noting that the government doesn’t dispute the nature of DAPA as a “rule,” the Court rejects the Administration’s characterization of DAPA as a “policy statement” not subject to notice and comment. It finds this conclusion by noting that DAPA’s predecessor, DACA, was a nearly-categorical grant of “lawful presence” in which case-by-case discretion was “merely pretext” and officials who disobeyed the policy would face negative consequences. The DAPA memo instructed officials to run DAPA similarly. Thus both the procedural and substantive APA claims were likely to succeed.

The court also affirmed on the alternate ground that DAPA is “manifestly contrary to the [INA].” This section is particularly important because it lays out in gory detail the extent to which DAPA’s reach exceeds the authorities granted by Congress (and even noting that it would fail the Chevron test even if it were ambiguous). There is simply no correspondence between the INA’s provisions and the substantive changes that would be worked by DAPA, so it’s good to see the Court laying it out.

That former University Lecturer, President Obama would take the case before the US Supreme Court, the ‘once’ final arbiters of all things. The High Court upheld the 5th District’s ruling as CNN reported:

In a crushing blow to the White House, the Supreme Court announced Thursday it was evenly divided in a case concerning President Barack Obama’s controversial executive actions on immigration.

Theone-sentence ruling, issued without comment or dissent, means that the programs will remain blocked from going into effect, and the issue will return to the lower court. It is exceedingly unlikely the programs will go into effect for the remainder of the Obama presidency.

While Scalia likely would have voted with the conservatives on the court against Obama, resulting in the same overall outcome of the policies remaining blocked, legal experts say the lack of a definitive answer is harmful to the courts.

In a twist of irony, the same CNN article also quoted Obama’s Solicitor General Don Verrilli made the following argument:

…the states didn’t have the legal right to be in court, because the Constitution “assigns the formation of immigration policy exclusively to the National Government precisely because immigration is an inherently national matter.”

He stressed that the guidance from the government does not provide any kind of lawful status under immigration law as the aliens remain removable at any time.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled in San Francisco on Tuesday the program must remain in place while the litigation is resolved. The ruling could complicate negotiations between Trump and congressional leaders over immigration reform.

Alsup’s decision follows a number of rulings by other U.S. judges seeking to rein in Trump’s immigration policies, including decisions that limited administration moves against sanctuary cities and narrowed the scope of a ban against travel from some Muslim-majority counties.

Alsup ruled that the federal government did not have to process new applications from people who had never before received protection under the program. However, he ordered the government to continue processing renewal applications from people who had previously been covered.

The plaintiffs were likely to succeed in arguing that the government’s decision to end DACA was arbitrary, Alsup ruled.

Judge Alsup must not have received the memo on the 5th Circuit ruling, or read the Supreme Court decision, nor understood the concept of “transfer of power” in their Constitutional Law class. Even though he admits that the Trump Administration will likely win in the end, Judge Alsup merely provided nothing more than a delay tactic for Liberal Democrats on the issue.

DACA is dead because the Democrats didn’t care or act, and now everyone wants to get onto the DACA bandwagon… No longer works. Must build Wall and secure our borders with proper Border legislation. Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!

What to do: Download the form and read the instructions. Collect the necessary documents to demonstrate your eligibility for naturalization. If you reside outside the United States, get 2 passport-style photo taken. Use the document checklist (PDF, 178 KB)to make sure you collect all the required documents.

Step 4. Submit your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.

Once you submit Form N-400, USCIS will send you a receipt notice. You can check current processing times and the status of your application online or by calling the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 or 1-800-767-1833 (hearing impaired).

Step 5. Go to the biometrics appointment, if applicable.

What to do: If you need to take biometrics, USCIS will send you an appointment notice that includes your biometrics appointment date, time, and location. Arrive at the designated location at the scheduled time. Have your biometrics taken.

Step 6. Complete the interview.

Once all the preliminary processes on your case are complete, USCIS will schedule an interview with you to complete the naturalization process. You must report to the USCIS office at the date and time on your appointment notice. Please bring the appointment notice with you.

Step 7. Receive a decision from USCIS on your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.

USCIS will issue you a written notice of decision.

If a same day naturalization ceremony is unavailable, USCIS will mail you a notification with the date, time, and location of your scheduled ceremony.

Step 9. Take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States.

You are not a U.S. citizen until you take the Oath of Allegiance at a naturalization ceremony.

What to do: Complete the questionnaire on Form N-445, Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony. Report for your naturalization ceremony and check in with USCIS.
